iWAP107 releases Wi-Fi efficiency into hazardous areas

September 2014 Industrial Wireless

The new iWAP107 system from Extronics allows the latest MIMO access points from market leaders such as Cisco and Aruba to be easily deployed in Zone 1 hazardous areas, improving wireless performance and reliability. The system employs Extronics’ unique iSolate500 RF galvanic isolators which make all RF outputs intrinsically safe. This allows standard non-certified antennas to be used greatly reducing cost whilst providing significant performance gains. Deployment and maintenance costs are also substantially reduced with simple antenna connection – no glands required.

Key features include:

* Simple and cost effective Wi-Fi deployment.

* Allows use of powerful standard antennas.

* Improved coverage with fewer access points.

* Reduced install and maintenance effort.

* No recertification necessary.

* Zone 1 ATEX & IECEx approved.
